Re: VB6.0 will live until Windows 7!

I canbnot recall any problems I had with installing VB 6 on my Vista.
I have VB 6
2003
2005
2008

All working in good harmony on my system. I had a quick peak at a Windows 7 machine the other day, it hasn't really convinced me to swicth over, maybe I'm being naive - but it's too soon to definitely support it 100%

Re: VB6.0 will live until Windows 7!

I actually wanted to post a new thread, but because I'm new here, it wasn't obvious to me on how to do that. I last use Visual BASIC in 1999 and then changed jobs where I became an Access database admin. I got laid off from that job in 2002 and haven't been able to get back into the programming field since. My last job was as a night auditor at a hotel. I desperately want to get back into programming because I love it so. Writing a program is like giving birth, you've created something.
I own a copy of Visual Studio.net version 2003 and I went out and purchased a MCAD/MCSD book on creating applications, but I'm really confused. VB.net seems so different from VB6. Am I correct in assuming that Visual Studio.net is geared mostly for the internet? After reading the posts here, I realize that Microsoft is about to stop supporting VB6. Was VB6 the last NON-Internet Visual BASIC programming language Microsoft produced?
I considered doing remote learning from SetFocus in NJ, but I can't afford their fees and to work for them post-graduate to negate the fees requires attendence in Parsippany, New Jersey which I can't do. Any suggestions would be gratfully appreciated as to how I can back into this field.

Re: VB6.0 will live until Windows 7!

Download a free copy of VS 2008 as this is much better to handle then VS 2003 was.

Wrong Book.
Use a starter book about VB.net as much as I remember there was a book VB.net step by step or something like that.
This will introduce you in the new generation of VB

Actually I just downloaded the RC version of VB.Net 2010.

It is a really lovely product to use but unfortuately it no longer lets you upgrade projects from VB6.
